Fill the hole with a polypropylene welding rod. Use a heat gun to warm the polypropylene welding rod so it's pliable and curl it inside of the hole. Then, hold the heat gun over the plastic to melt it and cause it to expand and fill in the hole.
To minimize the risk of an existing crack continuing to propagate during a repair, drill both ends of the crack. Before welding, ensure that the crack has been completely removed, again with either PT or MT. After this extensive preparation, welding can finally begin.

Dont worry about the heat treat, T-6 hardness is pretty much normalized for 6061 Al. Drill a hole equal to the thickness of the material at each end of the crack to stop propogation, groove the crack 1/2 the ...
To fix the crack, It is either annealed or spliced together by welding. The sooner the splicing is done the better it is for the truck. Once the frame reaches the stress cycle it starts developing cracks at a faster pace. If the cracks are still caused after welding, the process of annealing can be used.
9 Steps to Develop a Repair Welding Procedure. S ome repairs, whether it is repairing a failed weldment or repairing a crack in a casting, may easily be done by simply grinding out the crack and applying more weld. Other …
The cracks occur due to the effect of the welding thermal stresses working on the HAZ. Few Tor cracks initiate due to lack of base metal ductility where the weld zone is not able to withstand these stresses & resulting in the separation as crack. …
Repairing Aluminum Welds Use an angle grinder to completely remove the cracked weld. Next, vigorously brush the area to be welded using a stainless-steel wire brush. Weld in a well-ventilated area free from flammable material and remember to wear proper skin and eye protection.
Cracks are rare, but they can be repaired if found early. ... The weld repair used the shielded metal arc, or "stick" welding process. Electrodes ranging in diameter from 3/32 inch to 1/8 inch ...
Where cracking occurs in or adjacent to welded joints, a satisfactory repair may be made by welding. It is important that the cracked material is gouged or machined away sufficiently to permit a full penetration repair weld to be made, with no traces of crack left behind and …
Cracks are affected by three main factors: the thermal history of the welded parts; the chemical composition of the welded parts; and the conditions of the welding process. This type of crack can be avoided by slowing the cooling rate. In some cases, the joint can be pre-heated to minimize the heat impact of the welding process. Previous …
CrackWeld offers a rigid repair for random hairline cracks and fissures. It can also be used for repairing larger (or wider) stress cracks as well. CrackWeld is not suitable for joints that require flexibility like expansion …
If you try to repair the crack merely by welding over it, the oxide layer will keep the crack from mending, and it will still be there after welding. Therefore, to repair …

The joint should be prepared in such a way to allow the welder to maintain the proper wire extension and still access the bottom of the weld joint. Again, ensure that 'the wire type and diameters' and 'the gas and the gas mixture' are compatible. 5. Cracks. Weld Cracks are the most serious type of welding defects.
With braze welding, the job can be done at 800 to 900 degrees so the head doesn't get as hot. Another technique for repairing cracks in cast iron heads and blocks is flame spray (powder) welding. …
